Purina

Linda began in AKC Conformation as a teenager with Australian Terriers. She bred/owned/handled the first triple titled Aussie (Conformation, Obedience, Earth Dog). Saluki’s entered her life 46 years ago and from a small breeding program there have been multiple Champions in the ring and field, including Specialty winners, dual titlists, tracking and obedience titled dogs.

Linda was the first person to earn the AKC UD on a Saluki (2 individuals) and also earned multiple Will Judy/Dog World Awards and all breed Highs in Trial in the US and Canada (and the only Canadian UD titled Salukis we think).

Initially, Linda was approved to judge Salukis and Australian Terriers and currently judges BIS, Hound and Herding Groups in the US, all levels of obedience and rally, lure coursing and junior showmanship. She is the only AKC judge fully approved for this combination of events. She has judged multiple specialties including having been twice selected by her peers to judge Conformation at the National Saluki Specialty. Out of country assignments include Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Germany, Finland, New Zealand and Sweden.
